WEDDEn IN COURT.
Judge Hicks Stops Short in Case
to Perform the Ceremony.

TO Perform the Ceremony.
Those who happened to be in the big
courtroom about o'clock yesterday
afternoon were treated to a pleasant
little surprise, that made at least two
people happy. Judge Hicks was en-
gagged in hearing case when word
was brought to him that Andrew j.
Peterson and Eva S. Lindale desired to
be married. He dismissed the case for
few moments, and called the couple
before him. They walked up smiling
and confident, and after joining hands,
as the Judge commanded, were made
husband and wife, with half a dozen
lawyers and newspaper men as wit
neSses. Those who expected to see the
groom kiss his bride were somewhat
disappointed, as he did nothing of the
sort. Instead, he put his hand down in
his pocket, and, pulling out two silver
plunllieS, offered them to the Judge,
who, instead of taking the money, re-
marked: ''Tll make your wife present
of that money" MIR. Peterson handed
the wealth to his wife, who put it in her
pocket, and then the young couple re-
tired to seat and watched the divorce
grind.

haunt the side streets and frequent bust

have disappeared, but will take her folz

municipal reform will have been acc

the removal of the female element front

THE "CIIIPPIE"
is one of those expressions of the street
which gain popularity by their apprO-
priateneSS. 1t is variOusly used, but its
real meaning does not apply to the
demi-mOnde or to the street walker, but
more particularly to the younger class of
women who are either just beginning to
leave good influences and surroundings
and are venturing upon the forbidden
pleasures as to those who share the
company and carOusals of men, without
any fixed status. They may have pa
rents who exercise too little restraint;
some of them work for a living in the
great factories, stores or restaurants;
some live upon the wages of sin or be-
come the property of the ''hy" men of
the time. Without corresponding tn
either the grisette or the coquette of
Paris, they combine the charac-
teristics of both in more
vulgar sense, and in Amer
lean cities are the substitute for the
classes which result from the over pop

The former class would include many
who think they know the world thor
oughly, and the latter some to whom So
ciety gives recognition. 1t is only the
detective, the midnight rounder or per-
haps stray reporter who manages in
the course of his observations to gather
up the little points which make up the
strange combinations that are limited at.
1t is not to be supposed that the police
commission is going to drive out of ex-
istence the women who live the lives of
apparent semi-respectability. No, they
will simply drive from the street those
who have come down step by step from
the higher plane of immortality and who
show their character in their faces, the
habitues of the stalls of saloons, and

which is the average length of life to
those who are branded with the mark of
shame. The experiments in the way of
eradication and suppression have been
various; the results uniformly the same.
Penalties severe to degree beyond the
limits of justice, prosecutions almost bar
barous have in vain been invoked against
the evil which is at once the preServer
and destroyer of society. The policy
proposed is the natural one. Conscience
always seeks to avoid and pride to ,ig-
more what follows from the sins of in
herent passions, and so the victims of
lust are hidden away to linger unseen,
as garbage is often thrust from sight to
remain and breed disease and DEATH
The terrible revenge which nature has
provided for the wrongs of man against
woman is tacitly ignored, and the world
strives to forget, while the victims of
folly perish. The subject is disagree
able one and is put away from thought
for the police to doctor and the under
taker to deal with-sO let it be dis

comes cunning, calculating and heart
less, and naturally enough sides with
those who prey upon society. Her
friends are the gamblers, the thieves,
and her victims the men who possess
means or standing who she can rob by
her cajolery. The man of wealth who
lavishes upon her the gifts of generosity
is to her the sucker" as
she plucks him with a cleverness
which puts to shame the clumsiness of
the methods of her male associates. 1t
is the latter who in turn rob her. Per-
hapS it is the natural weaI-esS of the
sex which asserts itself, or perhaps it is
some peculiar trait of femininity which
makes her yield to stronger nature in
response to what might be called an im-
pulse of love, if it was not mOckery
to express it. So the adventurer,
whether she is the plaything of wealth
or the miserable wanderer in the lower
paths of darkness, always has "her
friend,' who shares with her what she
gains by her arts.

UNCLE SAM might have celebrated the
fOrtieth anniversary Of his first issue OF
postage stamps at the same time that he
LIBERATED his centennial Of the adop-
ton OF the constitution, but he did not.
The first issue Of postage stamps was
made in lS47; the first issue OF stamped
envelopes in 1853, and the first issue OF
postal cards in 1873. Uncle Sam has
never yet printed his own envelopes and
1t is very doubtful If he would make
much by doing so, the extremely low
rates ut which the work is done leaving
little margin for profits. Some envelopes
are sold TO the public as low as 81 per
thousand above the cost of the stamps.
The number OF stamped envelopes used
In the United States in a year Is over
300, 900, 900, and the whole number OF
stamps is about $500, 900, O03, including
stamps, stamped envelopes and postal
cards or the 10000 pOstOilices In the
thirty countries forming the postal
union, $1,000. over One-third, are In the
United States. The authorities an
nounce change in the color OF the
stamps, and the regular twO-crnt stamp
will soon be issued In the same old color,
milor green, as the three-oent stamp is
issued In. When the next contract is
awarded on envelopes the milOr green
twO-cent stamp will be impressed on
them and all two-cent stamps become
uniform.
